What the hell is “far right” about wanting to run your own country?
Good point.
Well, it's hard to be more right (less wrong) than that.
I don't see it as a conflict between Left and Right, but more of a contest between Right and Wrong.
The “far right†in today’s France, is somewhere between Sanders and Clinton.
And in many ways left of Bernie!
But the FN is in no way pro muslim.
Unfortunately, the French National Front really is a bad organization. It is "right wing" in the European mold--anti-American, anti-Jewish, and anti-Israel. At one time it was pro-moslem.
Unfortunately, American conservatives are very naive and tend to imagine that "far right" individuals/groups elsewhere are simply the local chapter of Young Americans for Freedom. Unfortunately, that is not so.
